Answer: X and Y chromosomes.

Explanation:

<u>Chromosome that differs from other chromosomes (autosomes) in shape, size and behavior are called sex chromosome, allosome, heterochromosome or idiochromosome.</u> These sex chromosomes are typical mammalian allosomes and are sex-determining in species in which sex is determined by the XX-XY system. The presence of the XX allosomes determines female sex, while the XY allosomes are for male sex. These chromosomes contain different genes, where some are only on the X chromosome and others only on the Y chromosome, and a few are on both.

The size of the human X chromosome is 164 million bases and currently has 1,170 genes. It is composed of many repetitive DNA segments that do not code for any protein or their function is not known. Only 1.7% of the chromosome codes for functional proteins that are low in length compared to the average length of a human gene. It has a small number of genes known as housekeeping or constitutive -(responsible for the basic maintenance of the cell) and <u>most of the genes it contains are expressed in few tissues or are tissue-specific, which is especially true for those expressed in brain regions.</u> So, the X chromosome is larger and has more euchromatin regions than the <u>Y chromosome which only has genes that code for male sexual development</u>. Since females have two X chromosomes and males have only one, during development in females one of the X chromosomes is inactivated at random in each tissue to make a dosage compensation. Otherwise, females would be expressing twice as many genes as a male. And through inactivation and dosage compensation, both males and females will express the same number of genes.

Explain how a significant increase in the use of wind energy would affect the energy supply of coal.
allsm [11]
<span>The increase in the use of wind energy does not have to affect the energy supply of coal, since they are not related in any way and do not depend on each other. It's totally out of logic. They are different energies, the wind energy should not affect the energetic consumption of coal for the simple fact that coal is not necessary to produce wind energy, but it could be said that the demand for coal could be reduced by a small percentage only If the wind energy is used much more.</span>

What role does cellular respiration play in the carbon cycle
baherus [9]
Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are important parts of the carbon cycle. The carbon cycle is the pathways through which carbon is recycled in the biosphere. While cellular respiration releases carbon dioxide into the environment, photosynthesis pulls carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.

_______ cause(s) populations to change over time.
vekshin1
The answer is B., Natural Selection.

Weather certainly doesn't change populations, and genes only caused individuals in a population to be slightly ( genetically-wise ) different from the others. It does cause change, but not change in the whole population over time.
Natural disasters don't change the populations over time either. Natural disasters only caused change in their environment, at most.

So, the only answer left is natural selection, and it makes sense too! 
Natural selection is the process where the individuals with better traits suited to survive in that specific environment live on and give those good traits to their offspring.
The individuals with less suited traits to survive will die out, and will not be given an opportunity to reproduce and pass on their less suited traits, so over time, the population will increase of individuals with better suited traits to survive and the individuals with less suited traits will eventually die out, therefore making the entire population change.

Hope I helped you!
